Managing Woodland For Conservation

Woodland Management

Understanding Your Woodland Environment

The first steps to woodland management is to understand the environment in which you are operating. This means beginning by conducting a survey of the woodland, to collect data on species and features already present and prepare a woodland management plan which sets out long-term aims and objectives for the woodland. In doing so we can provide you with a bespoke plan that suits your needs and most of all the needs of your woodland.

Dartforest manage multiple woodland projects in partnership with our clients throughout the southwest and beyond. Woodlands are special places for people and wildlife which require specific long-term management aims and objectives.

Owning a woodland can be a very daunting prospect and the management needs to be carefully planned and actioned when necessary.

Enhancing Woodlands

Woodland Craft

Woodland Management means knowing when to leave nature to do what it does best, and knowing when to step in and assist, in a manner than is in keeping with the natural landscape.

Over the years the team at Dartforest have developed sustainable solutions to incorporate art and craft of timber products from arisings in woodlands. Where woodlands are thinned, or trees removed for access we try and incorporate this timber resource into management plans for woodland conservation or woodland crafts. We can create open glades for seating and access into parts of a woodland by creating paths, steps and railings from the woodland thinnings or fallen trees.

Sympathetic intervention can both support the natural environment, and make it more accessible for visitors to relax, and enjoy the connection of being part of the woodland scene.
